Eric and his coworker switched out the old hot and cold shut off valves (from the 1960's) for my washer, replacing them with new valves and extended pipes, that are so much easier to reach and use. They also removed a copper water line, for an automatic ice maker in a fridge that I lost when my neighbourhood flooded. Both guys were easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, and worked quickly, leaving no trace of a mess. Thank you for your excellent service!Posted on Google![]()
